Why you should watch movies and TV shows for fashion inspiration
Casually re-watching your favorite movies and shows at night can improve your fashion sense more than simply scrolling through fashion-related TikToks. Not only do on-screen characters showcase the latest trends, they also revive historical styles and introduce you to characters with unique aesthetics.
Next time you’re stuck for style, switch your usual channel to a fashion film and get ready to refresh your look.
Two iconic jackets: Harrison Ford in Blade Runner and Ryan Gosling in Blade Runner 2049
The charm of timeless simplicity
Styling tips
- Casual Chic: Pair your driving jacket with a simple white t-shirt and jeans for an effortless stylish look, and pair it with aviator sunglasses for that classic Gosling vibe.
